School of Health, PE & Social Services

Mission Statement

Our foremost mission is to foster superior levels of educational
participation and academic success among our students, and, in so
doing, enable them to acquire the necessary job skills to attain
entry-level positions in the fields of health care or fitness. The
School of Health and Physical Education collaborates with Bay Area
hospitals and other health care institutions to ensure that, upon
completion of study, our students are prepared to respond to the
current community health concerns.

History

The School of Health and Physical Education was founded in 1993
during a major re-organization of City College’s departments and
programs. Today, all of City College’s health programs and services
are under the coordination and supervision of a Dean. The current
structure eliminates the unnecessary duplication of classes and allows
for greater communication between the programs and departments of the
School of Health and Physical Education. Today’s structure provides
students with greater flexibility in moving from one health program to another.
